Here's a scary thought; Harris as Prez and AOC as VP. :terror:
'She better be': Kamala Harris says she's 'ready to serve' as president. Here's what AOC says
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Vice President Harris said she's ready to step in as president amid growing concerns over President Biden’s age and mental acuity, prompting scorn from Republican lawmakers and support from her fellow Democrats.
"She's vice president of the United States," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said when asked if Harris was ready to serve as president. "She better be."
The New York Democrat added that Harris has been "doing a solid job as vice president" and a major part of her constitutional responsibility is "to stand at the ready."
Special Counsel Robert Hur, appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, released an investigative report last week recommending no charges against Biden for his actions related to mishandling classified documents, partly due to the president's potential defense at trial as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."
The assertion led to increased scrutiny over President Biden's age and mental abilities, particularly among Republicans, but Harris said she was "ready to serve" during an interview ahead of the report's release.
"I am ready to serve. There’s no question about that," Harris told The Wall Street Journal, adding that everyone who observes her work "walks away fully aware of my capacity to lead."
